Sleep Study
 

Hi Folks,

I may not be around for a couple of days because I have to go for a sleep study. There's a possibility that I may have sleep apnea which runs in my family. I snore really loud waking myself and my dear husband. I feel exhausted during the day like I didn't get any sleep. All of this in turn has lead to more sz. for me which is from the sleepiness. I will be going on Wed. for the sleep study and I sure hope that it's sleep apena that's triggering more of my sz. Here's wishing all of you well and May God Bless You!

Hi Darlene,

Thank you for your prayers and support. I'm used to all the wires with an e.e.g. e.k.g. etc. so this should be a simple test. The Dr. asked me to stay awake as long as I can this coming Tuesday and I will start the sleep study at 7 pm Wed. evening. Let's just hope this is the answer to all of my snoring and lack of sleep. If I may ask to you find that you wake up a lot during the night with the sleep apnea? I often wake up between 3-4 am and sometimes I can't get back to sleep. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Hi Darlene,

Thanks for the tip regarding the bottled water. I think I will play it safe and bring some water from home. I've noticed that I sometimes get sick from drinking bottled water because my system isn't used to that kind of water and then I spend most of the time in the restroom, so I will bring a thermos of water with me. I just hope I can sleep okay since I won't be home and I probably won't be that relaxed. On top of that I just found out that my nephew was in the hopspital with blood clots on his lung and one in his leg and I'm very worried about him. Thanks for your time and support. May God Bless All of You!

Hi Darlene,

I'm concerned that I won't be able to sleep just like you mentioned. I think I will cut back on the caffeine the day of the study since the Dr. told me not to take any meds to help me sleep. Thanks for your time and help. May God Bless You!

Keep us informed on how it goes. Thoughts and prayers to you.

Hi Folks,

I just got home a little while ago from my sleep study and they didn't find any sleep apnea but the tech. told me he was going to let the sleep specialist go over my case to be sure. I will know in about 2 wks. what the final outcome is. I'm beginning to wonder if all of this is do to stress from work and my family who has turned away from me even though I've done everything I can to better myself.

Thanks for your support and prayers I greatly appreciate it. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Hi Darlene,

Thanks for your kind and caring words it means a lot to me. I've made it a point to teach students and staff at school about epilepsy as well as what to do if a person has a sz.

As far as my family I've done all that I can for them to accept me but I don't fit in with them because of my epilepsy. I've learned to carry on in life and leave it in the Lord's hands because I know He won't give me more than I can handle. Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. I wish you only the best in life and May God Bless You!
